Some suggest this happens because blue is a “calming color,” but others argue it’s just because nobody wants to draw attention to themselves by being suspicious under the special lights.
The most beautiful cat cafe I have been to. It’s called Temari no Ouchi (Temari’s house) in Tokyo, Japan. The soft music and ambience feels like you are in a Studio Ghibli film.

Several girls were even sleeping there amongst the cats.

Ushiku Daibutsu is a statue located in Ushiku, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Completed in 1993, it stands a total of 120 metres (390 ft) tall, including the 10 m (33 ft) base and 10m lotus platform.
